The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 21 Slightly Improved (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

Richard held down the claw of the Black Iron Beast, and the Miracle Furnace in his soul instantly evaluated the claw.

[Raw materials: Black Iron Beast front claw]

[Substances that can be refined: Pure Black Iron Beast Bloodline]

[Refining consumption: 100 mana]

[Whether to consume]

"Yes."

The front paws of the Black Iron Beast instantly appeared in the Miracle Furnace, and streams of magic power were absorbed by the Miracle Furnace and turned into refining power. In just a few seconds, a ball of blood wrapped in magic power, as crystal clear as a ruby, appeared in Richard's hand.

Blood alchemy is a form of alchemy widely spread among wizards. It can fuse the blood of other creatures with the alchemist's own blood, ultimately achieving the purpose of acquiring certain abilities or enhancing one's own physique.

When performing blood alchemy, the purity of the blood is the most important.

If the blood used in blood alchemy is mixed with the blood of other creatures, the final result will not be so ideal, and may even be very different from what was expected.

After putting the blood into a test tube, Richard took out a bottle of deep black ink from the drawer.

According to the notes, in addition to purifying blood, blood alchemy also requires the use of special ink to draw an alchemy array on the heart. With the power of the array, Richard's body will transform his blood into a blood seed and bury it in his heart, which will be activated when needed.

This is one of the most well-known paths in Blood Alchemy - Blood Seed.

The biggest advantage of this path is that it does not change the body shape much, and it is easy to replace the bloodline. The disadvantage is that the use of bloodline must be maintained by magic power.

In addition to this path, blood alchemy also has the suturing path of directly transplanting organs and glands, the transformation path of transforming and mutating one's own organs, and the most popular hybrid path among the wizarding community, which is direct blood fusion.

The recipe for the ink was recorded in the notes, but after Richard made inquiries from many sources, he finally discovered that the ink used for bloodline alchemy can now be purchased directly in stores, and the price is not particularly expensive, with a bottle of ink costing only five magic stones.

After receiving this news, Richard could only sigh that the times are developing and technology is advancing.

Due to the conquest of the planes, the number of bloodlines that can be fused has been greatly expanded, which means that wizards from various schools can find bloodlines suitable for their own schools and then perform blood alchemy.

This wizard who died during the Wizarding War might never have dreamed that the blood alchemy he studied would become a common technology among the wizarding community.

Holding a feather pen, Richard took off his shirt, found a mirror and drew a magic circle on his chest.

The alchemical array required for bloodline alchemy was relatively simple, and Richard only took ten minutes to complete it.

After finishing his preparations, Richard took a deep breath and lay flat on the bed.

The alchemy circle emitted a faint blue light under the influence of magic. Richard poured the blood in the test tube into the center of the circle. The next second, a feeling as if being branded by a red-hot iron came from his chest. Streams of hot blood were pumped out from the heart and transported through the blood vessels to all parts of Richard's body.

"Woo!"

Richard gritted his teeth and tried to stay awake.

He now had to ensure a steady flow of magic power into the alchemy array.

After an unknown amount of time, Richard felt the burning sensation in his chest dissipate.

His body relaxed and he lay on the bed like a puddle of mud, his clothes soaked with sweat.

"This thing is simply torture."

After resting for a while, Richard recovered and got up from the bed, took off his clothes and prepared to take a shower.

Hiss.

There was a tearing sound.

Richard looked at his torn pants with a puzzled look.

He didn't use any effort.

He carefully pulled at his pants, only to see that the sturdy fabric was easily torn apart like a piece of paper. Richard finally understood.

This is because he has become stronger.

Carefully taking off his pants, Richard checked the condition of his body.

He threw a punch, and a muffled sound instantly filled the air. He then jumped lightly, and his head easily hit the ceiling.

"The notes say that the first stage of blood alchemy will slightly improve physical fitness..."

Richard turned around and picked up the big bed behind him. The bed must have weighed several hundred pounds, but he only felt it was a little heavy.

"Wizards call this a slight improvement in physical fitness?"

Richard put down the bed, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Although he expected that the wizard's ideas might differ from his own, as it stands now, the gap between the wizard and the apprentice is probably greater than the difference between heaven and earth.

After adapting to his current body, Richard began to breathe according to the breathing method in his notes. Each blood alchemy has a matching breathing method, which can not only temporarily enhance combat power, but also has the most important function of stimulating the body and stimulating the blood.

According to the notes, he should now have a layer of slightly protective scales.

Breathe in—breath out—breath in…

After breathing in rhythm for a few seconds, Richard felt a scalding heat flow from his heart to his entire body in an instant. At the same time, an itchy feeling came from all over his body.

Richard looked at his body and saw black scales with a metallic luster sticking out from under his skin, looking exactly like the black iron beast.

Li found the dagger and stabbed him twice carefully. However, the dagger, which could cut through iron like mud, actually needed a lot of strength to pierce through the scales on his body.

"Haha, just a little protection."

Richard put away the dagger. After being infused with magic power, the dagger could pierce through even plate armor, but now it took some effort to pierce through scales.

In other words, he is now wearing a layer of armor that is more powerful than plate armor.

The black scales plus the force field barrier of the wizard robe, this kind of protective power is definitely top-notch among new apprentices.

"Now I can probably easily defeat that demon goat even if I face it head-on."

The black scales rise and fall like flowing water as the muscles stretch and contract, emitting a strange charm under the light.

"So beautiful." Richard looked at himself and exclaimed narcissistically.

But not long after, a terrifying hunger suddenly surged up from Richard's body.

"It's bad. Blood alchemy has drained my magic power. Now using my blood is consuming my life energy."

Richard quickly lowered his bloodline, and the black scales began to fade from the ends of his limbs, and finally retreated to his chest, turning into a black brand.

And after the blood subsided, a feeling of weakness suddenly surged up again.

Richard staggered to the table, grabbed a nutritional potion left over from the entrance exam and poured it into his mouth.

One bottle was not enough, so he had another. After drinking three bottles in a row, the creepy feeling of hunger finally subsided.

Walking into the bathroom, Li looked at himself in the mirror and found himself becoming skinny again. He thought that all the weight he had gained during this period wasted.

"The consumption of this blood alchemy is a bit too terrifying. Unless it is absolutely necessary, you must never use it when your magic power is exhausted." Richard concluded.

After washing off the blood stains from the scales growing on his body, Richard changed into new clothes.

Now that three months have passed, it's time to get those one hundred magic stones.
